A Field Day in the Divorce Courts.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24-Today will be divorce
day par excellance in the courts, there are
nearly, if not quite. one hundred default
to be heard by five judges. Two of them. Judges
Shepard and Jameson. will begin work at
o'clock this morning. This is the largest num-
Der of divorce cases ever set for hearing in
day in this city. and shows that Chicago
divorce headquarters is by no means falling off.
The cause of this numbe is owing partly to the
material growth Of population. and partly also
to the fact that the judges this year kept their
vacation relIgiously, and declined to hear any
but urgent matters. Judge Collins appears to
be the most popular, as he has thrryo once cases
on his calendar Judge Horton comes next with
twenty, Judge Shepard has seventeen, Judge
Garpett sixteen, and Judge Jameson is at the
rear with only eight.

G. w. child..s Opinion of Mrs. Cleveland.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Mrs Cleveland possesses the charm that Ital-
ians call slmpatica. She is not coldly graceful
in her station, accepting as matter of course
the com pliments and respect OF her thousands
of now friends. She is observant, individually,
and responsive to all the frank friendliness that
has been showered upon her in the crowded
days of last week. The Presidents has been
welcomed in this overwhelmingly Republican
city. with much personal enthusiasm and with
the honor due to his Office. Yet we are not
sure but that the part he most enjoyed OF all
the stately and familiar scenes he has gone
through must have been at tho conclusion OF
Saturdays banquet. when Judge Kelley's call
for three cheers for Mrs. Cleveland's husband"
conveyed Philadelpha's appreciative good wish
